Habs and Sens win in OT

The Montreal Canadiens opened their season in great fashion by beating the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 in overtime. Habs captain, Saku Koivu scored twice to lead his team to victory. Early in the game, Habs got into their bad habit of taken penalties, the Hurricanes opened the scoring on Alex Kovalev's holding penalty. The defense stood tall and allowed only goal on seven powerplays by the home team. Wondering how the Habs would do on the powerplay without sniper Souray, well they went 3-8.

In Toronto, hours after signing a new contract, Dany Heatley scored twice and led the Senators to a 4-3 overtime win over the Leafs. The two teams meet again tonight in Ottawa. The Heatley contract brings the Senators to 36.1 million in commited money for 2008/09, will there be enough for Redden ?
